Keratin 19 Antibody 28K37 / KRT19 Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody recognizes keratin 19, a type I intermediate filament protein encoded by the KRT19 gene. Also known as cytokeratin 19 or CK19, this protein contributes to the structural organization of epithelial cells through its incorporation into cytoplasmic intermediate filament networks. KRT19 is unusual among type I keratins because it lacks the extended C-terminal tail domain characteristic of many family members. It commonly associates with type II keratins, including keratin 8, to support epithelial cytoskeletal architecture.
Keratin 19 is expressed in numerous glandular, ductal, and simple epithelial tissues. Its distribution is particularly important in organs containing distinct epithelial compartments, including the breast, pancreas, liver, and gastrointestinal tract. In the hepatobiliary system, KRT19 is a characteristic marker of cholangiocytes and is frequently investigated in studies of biliary differentiation and hepatic progenitor populations. The protein is also expressed in pancreatic ductal epithelium and various intestinal epithelial populations, where its localization provides information about epithelial organization.
In breast tissue, KRT19 expression is associated with luminal epithelial differentiation and is frequently retained in breast carcinomas. Keratin 19 Antibody can therefore support investigations of epithelial tumor architecture and the distribution of CK19-positive carcinoma cells. However, KRT19 expression is not restricted to malignant tissue, and its detection must be interpreted in the context of cellular morphology, tissue origin, and complementary molecular markers.
Within the gastrointestinal system, KRT19 is studied in relation to epithelial differentiation, crypt organization, and tissue remodeling. Its expression in intestinal and appendiceal epithelial compartments makes it relevant to research examining epithelial lineage maintenance and responses to injury. Changes in keratin expression can accompany altered differentiation, inflammation, and neoplastic transformation, although KRT19 alone does not establish a particular pathological process.
NSJ Bioreagents provides recombinant antibodies targeting KRT19 for research into epithelial biology and intermediate filament organization. The KRT19 Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody, clone 28K37, recognizes a target relevant to studies of glandular differentiation, epithelial tissue architecture, and carcinoma-associated cytoskeletal expression.
For additional KRT19 detection options, see our anchor Cytokeratin 19 Antibody KRT19/799.
Optimal dilution of the Keratin 19 Antibody 28K37 / KRT19 Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody should be determined by the researcher.
A synthetic peptide derived from human Cytokeratin 19 was used as the immunogen for the Keratin 19 antibody.
Store the Keratin 19 antibody at -20oC.
